THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR 2035 IS TAKING SHAPE with the release of a draft project list, after nearly two years of bottoms-up public input. The list was released by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments Board of Directors at its June meeting. “This plan is the first of its kind in long range transportation planning, linking Blueprint land uses with a good combination of feet on the ground practical, high-value investments,” said SACOG Board Chair and El Dorado County Supervisor Rusty Dupray. This $41.7 billion draft MTP2035 project list is a detailed listing of transit, road improvements, operations, and other investments. The MTP2035 is based on projections for growth in population, housing and jobs, and is key to the quality of life and economic health of our region. The project list addresses practical transportation needs as well as being innovative. The project list provides a transportation system that reduces vehicle miles traveled per household. While population is expected to grow by 50 percent, growth in congestion per household is projected to increase by only 10 percent. There will be more transit options for more transit trips. The complete draft project list is available at www.sacog.org/mtp2035 or by calling (916) 321-9000.
